Cooper Point Journal

Bureaucracies mercilessly generate
memos. Most are obscure, self-secret
edicts, phrased so that only those
addressed can fully understand what is
being discussed. Most are boring to read
and trivial; the waste product of a busy
school. Some very few stand out as
having an importance far above the political infighting of the administration or
routine business of the college. And
among these there is an even smaller
group that are marked in their writing
with a sense of character that cannot be
easily separated out from the content of
the memorandum itself. One such memo
was written by Merv Cadwallader when
he was dean; in that memo Cadwallader
sarcastically suggested a form to use for
equivalency disclaimers. Taken out of
context, away from Merv's mirthful intent, the disclaimer is a horrible, ridiculous document.
Another such memo, long awaited by
different segments of the college community, is the just released report of the NonWhite DTF. This detailed, candid report
spells out what all segments of the school,
from the bookstore to the deans, should
do to make Evergreen more suitable for
non-whites.
The report from the Non-White DTF
recommends, for instance, that no white
males be hired as faculty for at least two
years, the bookstore extend credit to nonwhites, the cafeteria serve at least one
ethnic meal a day, and Financial Aid give
priority to the financial needs of nonwhites. (See story page six for more details.)

The tone of the report, which is strikingly abrupt, almost rude, may distract attention from its basic integrity. After a
very brief introduction explaining that
nothing need be explained a set of 11
general and over 50 specific recommendations are given. None are explained or
elaborated upon, as is the usual practice
in DTF reports. The general recommendations are ones which affect a number of
different departments in the bureaucracy;
the specific proposals each affect only one
department, such as Housing or Food
Services. In covering all branches of the
June 27, 1974

college the report makes a forceful
commitment to real change that will
become rooted in the institution, instead
of a simple academic platitude. (All academicians are considered transient by a
bureaucracy - or so we're told.)

One imagines behind the report a long
seething anger as well as a mocking,
cutting sense of humor, for the recommendations are, at many points, as
clearly unrealistic as they are discriminatory towards whites. The report was
written by a group of non-whites and
whites who were tired of halfway solutions and suggestions which address themselves only to the surface of the problem.
The report is not superficial; it is caustic,
angry and even at times, we think, irrational, but above all it is honest, complete
and thoroughly researched. Very implicit
in the tone of the report is a mocking of

the very administration for whom the
report is intended. They "asked for it."
Now it is up to those white administrators to try and evaluate this document
and its recommendations without letting
their own pride, most likely a little
bruised, interfere with their judgment.
Many of the recommendations in the report are valid and all indicate a serious
area of concern, even if the specific recommendations seem unreasonable.

That it took three years and the work
of a mainly non-white committee to come
up with these recommendations is a searing condemnation of Evergreen in itself. It
is toward this institutional omission, we
think, that the anger of the report is directed. The administration should respond
quickly and fully to this angry report;
their response is long overdue.

Rose recalled
To the Editor:
The students of Evergreen lost a very
valuable resource last week. AI Rose resigned.
The politics of the situation are compound and complex and the circumstances
surrounding Al's resignation .are too emotionally charged to permit an objective
analysis right now.
It's easy (and tempting) to point fingers ·
and make accusations . . . but that's not
the purpose of this letter.
I want to publicly thank AI for all the
beautiful things he has done for student
organizations and activities at Evergreen.

For three years now, AI has pumped his
heart, body, and soul into student interests. He has led countless student groups
through the intricate maze of Evergreen
bureaucracy to the final prize of funding.
He has been an extremely valuable resource to the Services and Activities Fees
Review Board. He has been a good friend
of Evergreen information systems: The
Cooper Point Journal, KAOS, IRS, and
the Information Center.

chosen to fill Al's position is just as
spunky and feisty as Alan Rose.

the current, time and time again to provide a paddle and a compass.
I am truly sorry AI has decided to leave
TESC. I am very grateful to him for his
energetic pursuit of the nebulous Evergreen dream. I hope the person who is

Parson new
dean

won
The Evergreen State College received
formal accreditation June 19, 1974 from
the Northwest Association of Secondary
and Higher Schools (NASHS). The announcement, which came as a surprise to
almost no one, was made by Commission
Executive Director, Dr. James F. Bemis,
during the organization's annual meeting
in Seattle.
An eleven member evaluating committee from NASHS visited Evergreen from
April 29 to May 1 and wrote a report
which commended the college in rather
glowing terms.
"Evergreen is a major asset to the
higher education of young people in the
State of Washington . . . The spirit and
morale of both faculty and students at
Evergreen are surprisingly high," it noted.
According to Provost Ed Kormondy.
accreditation will not affect the school
very much. The Candidacy for Accreditation given to Evergreen in December 1971
served as qualification for federal aid,
grants, and most schools have accepted it,
acknowledging that we would probably
soon be accredited.
"It's almost a technical thing," the provost stated, "It would have been a
problem if we didn't get it, but I don't
think it will really change things much to
have it. We are pleased of course ... It's
like the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval!"
In the committee's report a number ot
recommendations were given, including
the school be less defensive in its contacts
with the outside world and th3t certain library and counseling staff members be
given faculty status.

Trustees.
approve COG
The Board of Trustees, in a meeting of
June 13th, formally approved the new
governance document following ratification by a large majority of the students
responding to a poll conducted by the
Input Resource Senter (IRS).
The IRS poll raised some controversy
because only approximately two hundred

I'

students responded to it. Nonetheless the
second Committee on Governance report
(COG II) was approved of by most community members who made their feelings
known.
COG II offers few changes from the
original governance document. Most of
the changes are simply updatings to keep
the document in line with administrative
changes which took place during the
Spring of 1973. The new document is also
shorter, as much of the nebulous and
what one COG member termed "flowery''
language has been removed.

Willie Parson, the only candidate for
Byron Youtz's post as Academic Dean,
has been named to that position by Vice
President and Provost Ed Kormondy on
the recommendation of the Dean Screening DTF. Youtz, who was completing the
four-year term of Dean Don Humphrey,
returns to faculty status. In announcing
the appointment, Kormondy said he regarded Parson as "a strong addition to a
strong team."
Parson applied last year for a deanship
which would have required expertise in
the social sciences but was turned down
in favor of lynn Patterson on the basis of
her greater experience in that field. This
year's deanship, however, was for the
fields of natural science and mathematics.
Parson and 13 others were nominated for
the post, but Parson was the only one to
accept the candidacy.

The document still allows students to
challenge any faculty or administrative
decision made at the college through the
use of hearing boards and third person
mediation. This system, one of the strong
points of the original COG document to
many, serves as a sort of judicial review
within the Evergreen bureaucracy.
· In other business, Thomas Dixon ot
Tacoma, the only black member of the
board, was elected chairman for a one
year term, replacing Herbert Hadley of
Longview. Halvor M. Halvorson was
elected Vice Chairman, and Janet Tourtellotte of Seattle is the new secretary.
The Trustees adopted a set of policies
and procedures regarding the use of the
campus cable TV system, that requires a
license of all producers. The licensing test,
given by the Library staff, requires knowledge of legal and philosophical restrictions
on content, as well as knowledge of the
information contained in the college documents pertaining to responsibility towards
the college, and of grievance procedures.
The policy recognizes two basic uses of
the facility, one for "free access," the other
for taculty or staH-sponsored material.
The Board rejected a petition presented
by student Gary Marcus to postpone construction on the lighting system on the
parkway. The petition, signed by four
hundred students, was refused on the
grounds that the construction is halfway
completed.
The Board of Trustees also voted to
authorize the college to participate in the
Malheur Environmental Field Station
Center at Burns, Oregon. Ed Kormondy
explained the program saying "Membership will provide excellent facilities for
ecological study in the desert, complementing our access to mountain, forest,
and marine areas."

WILLIE PARSON

''I'll tell you in a month."
The DTF, headed by Richard Alexander, said that Parson "was not only a
strong candidate last year, when he was
also considered for the job, but that he is
perhaps even a stronger candidate this
year" due to his various activities, including his chairmanship of the Library Dean
Search DTF, in the intervening time.
Parson is a biologist, and in the past
academic year has been sponsoring individual contracts in biology and related
fields, for which he was also commended
by the DTF. When asked by the Journal
how he felt about the three-year deanship
ahead of him, Parson replied, "Very
good," but added that "maybe I'll be able
to tell you better in a month."

3 programs cut
In the shuffle to prepare for fall quarter, several of the planned studies programs have been canct>lled, namely, the
Marx, Darwin, and Freud, and Xequiquel
programs, the Optics and Problem Solving group contracts.
Cooper Point Journal

According to a memo dated June 20th
from the deans office, the decision to
drop these programs was based on a lack
of enrollment during spring registration.
Several other underenrolled programs
were labeled "questionable" and efforts
are being made to attract more students.
These include Two Cities, Chinese Civilization, Pacific Northwest, Interplay, and
On Knowing.
A new year-long ba'iic Natural Science/
Social Science program will be taught by
Dave Barry, Lee Anderson, Dave Marr
and Naomi Greenhut. Also local artist,
Suzan Christian, will teach a group contract in visual arts.

Security. with
Student Services
Campus Security will become a part of
Student Services on July 1.
This change is a result of a
recommendation in Student Services' recently formulated Five Year Plan. Presently Security is a separate budget reporting directly to Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh. Clabaugh oversees
Student Services, Security and other business functions in the college.
In response to the suggestion that Security become a part of Student Services,
Clabaugh wrote in a June 5 memo, "Its relocation could place you (Student Services) occasionally in the role of both prosecutor and judge," but decided to concur
with the change in the hopes of "bettering
working relationships, improved communications, and vastly improved 'systems.'"
Another proposal in the plan to reunite
Recreation and Campus Activities with
Student Services was deferred by Clabaugh pending the adjustment of conflicting proposals from the three budget units
involved: Recreation and Campus Activities, Auxiliary Services, and Student
Services. Since the spring of 1973, Recreation and Campus A'ctivities has been
ul')der John Moss, head of Auxiliary Services.
Student Service's self-conception that
they "do more than provide service" has
also prompted them to change their title
to Student Development Programs.

Tennis classes
start
Susan Miller and Kathy O'Brien will be
offering a summer tennis clinic for beginning and intermediate adults, teenagers,
and children in the Recreation Pavilion
from July 1 to July 12. The cost to TESC
students is $10, to faculty and staff $13,
and $15 for other community members,
and each student must provide his or her
own racquet and a can of new tennis
balls.
Registration for the classes is open until
July 2 in CRC 305. Any questions, including which class to sign up for, should be
directed to Susan Miller in CRC 305, or
call 6530 or 491-5287.

Hayes chosen
Michelle Hayes has been chosen to fill
the new position of career counselor, effective August 1. She will be responsible
for graduate school, life style, and career

Non-white DTF reports
BY TOM GRAHAM
The Non-White Disappearing Task Force
(DTF) has issued a report with recommendations designed to enable recruitment
and retention of a large number of
non-white students . The DTF chaired by
Academic Dean Rudy Martin was primarily non-white with a minority white membership. The DTF will also issue an assessment of various portions of the
1974-7.5 academic program to be used as a
curriculum guide for non-whites, and an
unedited transcript of the DTF meetings.
Vice President and Provost Ed Kormondy noted in a cover letter to the report that since during the summer it is
difficult to receive feedback from the community, he delayed implementation of the
report until the fall. Aspects of the report
which can be implemented by the budgetary unit heads will take effect this
summer, however.
Nothing rhetorical
"Nothing in the report was put in there
for purely rhetorical reasons," stated DTF
member Thomas Ybarra, "We're serious
about that report." The report includes
general recommendations concerning the
entire college, and recommendations to
specific budgetary units.
Included in the general recommendations is a suggestion that the college fill all
vacancies in employment for the next two
years with non-whites and women, and
arrange hiring priorities to bring a racial
balance of qualified Asians, Chicanos,
Native Americans, and Blacks to Evergreen.
The general recommendations ask for
regular training in cultural awareness for
the campus community. These recommendations also wish to bring the community
closer to the needs of non-whites by
making the heads of the various business
functions (budgetary unit heads) and their
staff more accountable. To do this the
DTF suggested including staff relationships with the non-white community as a
job assessment criterion in their evaluations.
Examples of specific recommendations
are: free uncensored space in the Cooper
Point Journal and on KAOS radio, at
least one daily serving of non-white ethnic
food at Food Service, and insurance that
all non-white ethnic groups are represented on the Services and Activities Fee
Review Board.
"Given the Affirmative Action goals
adopted by the Board of Trustees, the
DTF almost didn't have to say that. We
have to hire nothing but non-whites and
women to meet the goals anyway," stated
8

Director of Housing Ken Jacobs felt
that his unit was meeting or could meet
most of the DTF's recommendations, including a recommendation that housing
reserve a full 11 percent of their space for
minority students in the 1974-75 school
year. Jacobs stated that the reserve would
be gradually reduced as the beginning of
the school year approached, and that
there would be no space in reserve ten
days before the start of the school year.
Jacobs also stated that he had applied for
funds to meet a DTF recommendation
that a reasonable percentage of the housing facilities be reserved for conference
housing.

THOMAS YBARRA
"We 're serious about that report. "

Academic Dean Lynn Patterson, who
oversaw hiring of the faculty for the
coming year.
Patterson noted that if the recommendations had been in effect during this last
year the three white male faculty members would not have been hired. With
sixteen faculty openings the number of
white males hired wasn't a significant percentage.
Ybarra predicted that most budgetary
unit heads would accept· the recommendations concerning their specific budgetary
unit or contact the Minority Coalition for
clarification and revision. He added, "A
lot of the recommendations can be sidestepped by budgetary unit heads so inclined."
No negative reactions
Director of Information Services Dick
Nichols had no negative reactions to the
recommendations for his office which included sending all press releases to nonwhite media servicing the Pacific Northwest, and publishing in-depth feature stories about non-white participants in college
activities.
Edwina Dorsey-Travis had some reservations about the DTF recommendation
for her unit, Health Services, which asked
that they hire a full-time doctor. DorseyTravis could see how existing personnel
could cover the needs of the campus, but
she could also see ways in which the position could be valuable.

The only section of the recommendations Academic Dean Lynn Patterson disagreed with was the suggestion that oral
interviews of prospective faculty members
be stressed over the written essay. 'We
ask people who come here to be able to
write well. Writing is an important part
of a liberal education, and we ask that
faculty members whatever their field be
able to write well ."
Other recommendations
Other general recommendations were
in-service, on the job training programs
be established or expanded to help provide upward mobility, and making all
possible student institutional jobs paid internships. The report also urged making
available automatic payroll deductions for
those wishing to contribute to non-white
activities, the creation of an Educational
Opportunities Program, and implementing
regular summer orientation programs for
new non-white students of at least two
weeks' duration.
Other specific recommendations included having the Bookstore expand its
sundries inventory to include more nonwhite ethnic items, and hiring non-white
counselors to work in counseling and admissions. The specific recommendations
also stressed changes to improve nonwhite educational opportunities. These included having the Academic Deans institute a General Equivalency Degree program, and alternative to high school diploma, into the academic program. Also
suggested was the expansion of the credit
and learning services programs.
Members of the Non-White DTF were :

DTF Reports

Decision on S&A proposal delayed
The College Activities Fund Disappearing Task Force (DTF} has completed its
study of the use of student Services and
Activities Fees, and has issued a report
summarizing its findings. The DTF, which
was called together in an April 2 memo
from Administrative Vice President Dean
Clabaugh, addressed the eleven basic
"proposed actions" contained in Clabaugh's memo, but failed to make any
recommendations concerning an important proposal from the Services and Activities (S&A} Fees Review Board "to redistribute the authority /responsibility for
allocation of Services and Activities Fees."
The May 28 S&A Board proposal to
the DTF - d·rafted by Assistant Director
of Campus Activities AI Rose, and
adopted unanimously by the Board stated, in part, "We feel that the present
(allocation) process excludes students
from providing input into decisions regarding the use of S&A fees."
The Board went on to propose that
'The Services and Activities Fees Board .
is directly responsible for all
allocations of Services and Activities Fees.
(italics ours):' The Board further recommended the creation of a full-time administrative position "to insure that funding
requests . . . are presented to the S&A
Board .. ., to facilitate S&A Board decisions, and to assist in the implementation
and evaluation of budgets using S&A
fees."
At the present time only approximately
one-fifth of the quarter of a million dollar
S and A fund is under student control.
The greater portion of the money is channeled into different budgets by Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh and
Director of Auxiliary Services John Moss.
The one-fifth left is allocated to student
groups by the S and A Fees Review
Board.
Go ahead for Clabaugh
"For the most part they gave Clabaugh
the go-ahead on what he had requested,"
said AI Rose, when asked to comment on
the findings of the DTF. "With one or
two exceptions it was a blanket kind of
authority to do the givens that Clabaugh
had requested ...
Mary Ewing, a student and secretary in
the Activities Office, attended the final
meeting of the DTF. "I was not happy
with the results (of the meeting}," she
said. "I thought many of the people there
were railroaded and just carried along;
didn't participate actively . . . But there
June 27, 1974

were people there - in particular Don
Meyer and John Moss and Dean Clabaugh - who apparently knew a lot
more than a lot of the other people and
weren't really eager to share the information that they had. Just the general climate of the meeting was pretty, urn, not
comfortable. There were a couple of students - Chris Meserve and Susan
Wooley - who had a lot to offer as far
as experience and information, and it
didn't seem to me that they were getting
enough support to tell everybody what
they knew and had experienced as being
part of the S&A Board this year."

"I think the report was presumptuous,
because it made decisions which it was
not, as far as I was concerned, authorized
to make," said Executive Director of the
Minority Coalition Thomas Ybarra, who
was appointed to the DTF after it was
pointed out to Clabaugh that no minorities were represented. Ybarra said he did
not think capital expenditures for the College Recreation Center Phase II , should
come out of S&A
"I think that buildings such as the
CAB building and the Rec. Center are
buildings which are intended to benefit
the entire community, and therefore they
should be part of the physical plant of the
Continuect on page 13

Rose resigns
June 10, five days after the College Activities Fund DTF completed its report,
Assistant Director of Student Services AI Rose submitted his resignation to the
S&A Fees Review Board, charging that "the administrators are still stealing student
funds."
In the two years he served as the person directly responsible for coordinating
student group activities, Rose. gained a reputation for outspoken honesty_. He , had
seemed headed on a collision course with administrators since May 22. At that
time he and Susan Wooley, executive secretary of the S&A Board, presented the
Activities Fund DTF with a memo in which they charged that the attitudes of Evergreen administrators "violated the intent of the legislature" by allocating S&A
funds without soliciting student input.
In an interview with the Journal,
Rose explained that the person
identified in his resignation memo as
his supervisor was Director of Campus
Activities Pete Steilberg. Rose further
indicated that Steilberg may have been
under some pressure from John Moss,
director of Auxiliary Services. Following is the text of Rose's resignation:
In the last few months, we have
opened a lot of eyes in the Evergreen
community. The administrators are
still stealing student fees, but a lot
more students are aware of it now.
The problem I have is it seems so obvious to me that students should say
what happens to student fees that I
assume it is obvious to everyone else.
AL ROSE
That is a false assumption.
"The administrators are still stealing."
Recently, my supervisor brought it
to my attention that my time and energy as an Evergreen employee are misdirected. I should not create so many waves. I should take my concerns to him and
he will handle them for me. I should not go over his head.
I remember a time at Evergreen when administrators did not feel a need to be
comfortable in their jobs. And when people said the hell with organizational
charts. If you have a problem, see the person that can help you.

·AMERICAN·
PERSPECTIVES

.

BY NICHOLAS H. AlliSON

First Strike
The Nixon administration's $92.6 billion
budget for the coming year, an
mcrease of $5.5 billion over this year's,
has been under debate in both houses of
Congress for a number of weeks now
and one significant portion of it has al~
ready been approved. Although its size is
of course shocking, specific expenditures
of the budget reveal a more significant
and dangerous development than simple
·growth; the beginnings of a shift in
Defense Department policy and philosophy towards a first-strike capability for
the U.S. which, if allowed to continue
will brin_g nuclear war between the super~
powers mto the realm of political possibility.
When the War Department changed its
name to the Defense Department in 1947,
!her_e v:as ~o.re involved than simply the
mstttuttonahzmg of a euphl•mism. l" lll·
change was a recognition of tlw l h.1n ,·, d
military considerations of the nul k.n ,; i'l'
when two major nations, the U.S . . md till'
Sov_iet Union, would pit their strmgth
agamst each other not on the battll'lield in
real warfare but in the abstract n•,1lm ,,,
potential warfare - in the case ot a
hypothetical attack by one ot thl· two
countries, the end result is the complete
(hypothetical) destruction of both . Once
this capability for "mutual assured destruction" is established, the chance of an
actual attack is very small, since there
could be no victor; hence the job of each
nation's military machine becomes to
build weapons which will presumably
never be used. The only potential occasion for a conflict is if the balance shifts
far enough in this bizarre contest for one
· side to believe a victory is possible.
Given the utter lunacy of the whole
"balance-of-terror" arrangement in the
fi:-:t place, and given the political impossi1b1hty of the U.S. and the Soviet Union
simply sitting down at the conference
table and agreeing not to attack each
other, the American nuclear weapons pol. icy for the last 20 years has been a fairly
sensible one. All our weapons have been
geared d~fensively, against the possibility
of a Sov1et attack. Our missiles have been
aimed at their cities, and our early-warning systems have been kept capable of de~efense

I

10

tecting Soviet missiles before thev reached
us, so any attack on their part ~t>uld inevitably result in massive Soviet civilian
casualties. We never developed a "firststrike capability" - which would have
moved the arms race into a whnlf' new
realm - but instead simply kept pace in
our defensive / retaliatory c.1p.1city w1th
Soviet offensive advances.
Our current Secretary of Defense is
James R. Schlesinger, a tall, handsome,
articulate man , who, as the chief architect
of and spokesman for Defense Department policy, has been the principal defender to both the Congress and the press
of the lates t military budget. His
statements and recommendations make
explicit the new shift in policy and the
reasons behind it.
As recently as three years ago, the Defe~se Department was still against firststnke weapons for the U.S. Opposing a
Senate move sponsored by James L. Buckley (~onservative - N.Y.) to begin developmg counter-force missiles, the Department said, "The United States should
not develop a weapons system whose deployment could reasonably be construed
by the Soviet Union as having a firststrike capability" because "such a development might provide an incentive for the
Soviets to strike first. " Things have
changed since then . On June lOth of this
year the Senate took the first major step
towards endorsing a first-strike capability
for the U.S. by approving the development of a new Minuteman III intercontinental missile with the power and
accuracy_to attack Soviet missiles in their
underground silos. (Washington Senators
Henry Jackson and Warren Magnuson
voted in favor of the new missile .) The
significance of this step - that the Senate
has begun to endorse the Defense Department's new policy - can hardly be overemphasized.
Schlesinger claims that we must develop
offensive missiles like thE- one mentioned
above because the Soviets are rapidly improving and expanding their nuclear
attack capability . But this explanation
sidesteps the real crux of the change
Schlesinger is advocating since to main-

tain the current "balance-of-terror" equilibrium in the face of Soviet advances all
we need to do is to increase our defensive
and retaliatory ability accordingly. In this
way the U.S. would keep its stance of
nuclear nonaggrt>ssion. By giving ourselves limited, accurate, first-strike nuclear weapons, we are saying that we consider nuclear war and nuclear aggression
political possibilities.
However, Schlesinger argues, these new
more accurate weapons will give the President a flexibility of response which he
does not now have. If, for instance, the
Soviets fired an atomic missile and destroyed a U.S. arms factory in a sparsely
populated area, the President should have
another option besides either responding
with a major attack on Soviet cities or
not responding at all. With the weapons
Schlesinger advocates, the President could
in turn attack an arms factory in a lightly
populated area of Siberia, and a limited
nuclear war would ensue. But is this scenario really plausible? Nuclear weapons
are qualitatively different from conventional (i.e. non-nuclear) ones, and once
two nations which possess the atomic
bomb begin firing atomic weapons at one
another, surely a rapid escalation into nuclear holocaust is all but inevitable. The
United States must refuse to distinguish
between limited and unlimited nuclear
war. We must keep nuclear conflict hypothetical , out of the realm of political possibility.
Schlesinger has stated: "We must build
our peace structure on the hard facts of
the international environment rather than
on gossamer hopes for the imminent perfectibility of mankind ." The cynism revealed in this statement , the contempt for
hope and idealism , and the lack of any
deep understanding of what the word
"peace" can and should mean are dangerous qualities in a man with such power
and influence over the stance America
takes toward the world. It is doubly
dangerous when the Congress ratifies his
views and begins translating them into
policy.

Europea11 Media Review

The complex political, social, culturill

In the USA (3,000,000 sq. miles ilnd
population of 210 million), Europ• ·
often considered as a unity. This j, n
correct; not yet, but the idea of an til
grated Europe dates back in the Mid . 1
Ages. World War II, the military thre.1 1 .
the rapid acquisition of European terril"
by the Soviet Union, and other ewnt ··
the postwar period provided the imp.
to attempt to make it a reality. Th
pulse came partly from Europe it·.··t•
partly from the United States.
In 1944, while still in exile in London
Juring WW II, the governments of Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands
si).\ned an agreement that led to the formation ot a Customs Union (Benelux) in
1948. This union stipulated the elimination of internal tariffs and the application
of a common external tariff to imports
from non-member nations. In 1947 the
USA provided unselfish Marshall Aid for
the rehabilitation of all of Europe with a
stipulation that the recipients should co-,
operate to achieve a common program of
recovery. But the political rift between
West and East prevented the start of an
attempt to integrate all Europe; although
the Marshall Plan · was offered even to the
East European nations, the Soviet Union
caused them not to accept this aid (viz.
Czechoslovakia 1948). The European Organization for European Economic Cooperation (OEECl was established to administer the Marshall Plan funds and has
since evolved into the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD).
In 1950 the Benelux countries and
France, Germany and Italy embarked on
a much more ambitious program towards
economic integration and in April 1951
signed a treaty in Paris establishing the
European Coal and Steel Community
(ECSC), a six-member common market in
coal and steel. Encouraged by the success
of the ECSC, the six considered plans for
further integration. The eventual outcome
was the signature in Rome in 1957 of two
treaties. One established the European
Atomic Energy Community (Euratom),
the purpose of which was to encourage
the cooperative development of nuclear
l'nergy for peaceful purposes; the other
June 27, 1974

created the European Economic Community . We will use the term European Community (EC) to refer to the EEC, the
ECSC anti Euratom.

The aim of the European b onomic

Treaty of Roma.
"It shall be the aim of the community,"
the treaty states, "by establishing a Common Market and progressively approximating the economic policies of member
states, to promote throughout the community a harmonious development of economic activities, a continuous and balanced expansion, an increased stability,
an accelerated raising of the standard of
living and closer relations between its
member states."
Within a relatively short span of time,
the members of the EC have been trans-

growing community of 250 million people
featuring a staggering gross domestic
product of 850 billion dollars. In the same
year 1972 our United States, with a population of 210 million and a gross domestic product of 1.2 trillion, is assuming second place after the European community
even in Real GOP; the EEC's average annual percentage growth is 4.5 percent,
that of the USA is 4.4.
Further integration of the EC may
prove to be a complex process, and much
will depend on political developments
within the member states. This, and other
problems, we shall examine in depth in
our European media reviews, but only
after a brief examination of the other components of Europe like Comecon, the
NATO and Warsaw Pacts, State Radio

Community residents may pay $15.00 per

costs 75 cents for use of the facilities. For
those who choose not to bring towels,

Quarterly use permits can be purchased

Vandals strike
"People have been cutting the wires (on
the parkway lights) and throwing them
into the weeds," Jerry Schillinger, director
of Facilities, related recently. "This is the
first project we've had any vandalism on
since we started this college . . . Apparently the people who object to them,
don't want to see any lights there at all none, period."
The $163,000 lighting system on the
mile long stretch of the Evergreen Parkway in front of the college has, in recent
weeks, been the center of much controversy. At the last Board of Trustees
meeting, on June 13, student Gary Marcus
presented a petition with four hundred
signatures on it calling for the postponement of the lighting construction. The
Board declined to halt the construction,
since it was halfway completed.
Marcus maintained that Totem Electric,
the company building the lights, was willing to remove them and fill in the holes
and return $11,000 to the college. As this
would mean a net expenditure of $153,000
on something that would not exist, his
argument, was, in his own words,
"largely ignored."
In somewhat related action faculty
member Richard Cellarius criticized another facilities project, the Environmental Impact Statement for the new Communications Building which Facilities released. Cellarius in a memo to Schillinger
termed the report "inadequate . . . too
vague" and claimed that it "gave little attention to alternative sites." He also men-

tioned a number of areas that he felt were
mistaken in the report.
Schillinger responded by saying that the
Master Plan, drawn up in 1970-71, had
included a discussion of alternate sites.
Also, in response to the idea that the construction, which will go out to bid within
a few weeks, be postponed, Schillinger explained that such a move would cost approximately $60,000, and delay the project for at least four months.
Schillinger stated that he was aware
that this first Environmental Impact Statement was in many ways inadequate because "when you look at the value of an
Environmental Impact Statement when
yo11've already designed the building and

picked out the site, it's kind of a meaningle!'s document."
Marcus suggested that a DTF be
formed to investigate Schillinger s "closed
attitude" and his "seeming invisibility in
the way he reacts to input and the action
he takes ."
In response to continued criticism
Schillingt>r said, "With regard to a closed
attitude: Yeah, it could be constfued to
be that. My job here is to put the facilities
up . It isn't my job to decide what goes up
I'm the guy that has to put it together
after it's decided. It's my job to continue
the project. I guess I look at it from the
point of view of where my responsibilities
lie: with the college."

college and supported just as equally by
the legislature. That is, I mean, they
should get equal support as such buildings
as the Seminar building, the Library building, Communications, Lab building - all
of them."

MARY EWING
Ybarra said he felt the S&A Board proposal was not addressed or adopted by
the DTF because "there were a minority
of students on that committee (the DTF) ,
and because it was not in the best interests of the people who sat on that committee to want to see that recommendation go through . I believe that if students
had been in the majority on that committee the resolution would have been passed
- without any problems .. . I've yet to
find a studer.t who does not agree that
students should be able to control what
happens to S&A monies."
Group decision-making
John Moss, director of Auxiliary
Services and at present the administrator
directly in charge of spending of Services
and Activities Fees, did not agree with the
proposal of the S&A Board to the DTF.
"I can't support the recommendation that
the S&A Board have total authority over
those funds," he said. "This goes back to
a deep-seated philosophy of mine that
you can't have a group of people make
any decision . Group decision-making, by
my standards, doesn't work. You read the
COG (Committee on Governance document), you'll find that it's exactly in line
with it."
The DTF presented its recommendations June 5 in a three-page memorandum
addressed to the administrative vice president. Included in the report were recommendations to :
- Establish a building repair reserve
and an equipment repair and replacement
reserve for the College Activities Building
Phase l. Beginning in 1974-75, and for
each year thereafter, contributions to the
Jime 27, 1974

reserves would total ten percent of total
equipment cost and one-half of one
percent of the building cost. 1974-75 allocations would be $25,000 and $16,000 respectively.
- Funding of l.D. cards be moved
from Auxiliary Enterprises to Student
Services. The reasoning for this was twofold: faculty and staff ID do not constitute a student-related activity, and at least
two of the other higher educational institutions in the state vresently have ID card
operations under the registrar's budget.
(For 1974-75 it was estimated that these
funds would represent a total of $4,500.)
- Establish a reserve for the Director
of Auxiliary Services as a contingency
against a failure to meet reserve estimates
and as an emergency reserve. Beginning in
1974-75 and each year thereafter allocations to the reserve will be at three percent of the anticipated gross Services and
Activities Fee revenue. (For 1974-75 this
would come to $9,545 . ) Expenditures
from this reserve must be approved by
the Services and Activities Review Board.
- The Director of Auxiliary Services
prepare a program for quarterly control
of expenditures in those budgets funded
from Services and Activities Fee revenues.
This is to insure that case disbursements
during a given quarter do not exceed the
estimated revenue plus balances carried
forward.

JOHN MOSS
"Group decision making, by my standards, doesn't work."
- $16,000 be transferred from the College Activities Fund to Local Plant Fund
in 1974-75 for the remodeling of the Day
Care Center.
- $37,500 be transferred from the College Activities Fund over a three year period to the Local Plant Fund to reserve a
total of $112,500 for the design of College
Recreation Center Phase II. Recommended
facilities to be included in the facility are
a gymnasium, open ~ctivities area and a
student lounge or coffee house .

- $24,500 be transferred from the Activities Fund to the Local Plant Fund for
the remodeling of the Organic Farm, and
the renovation of bldg. 201 for the Messy
Arts.
- The Administrative Vice President
shall be responsible to ensure S&A Board
involvement in the entire internal allocation process. This involvement should begin ~ith the consideration of the DTF recommendations.
The DTF further recommended that by
July 5 the administrative vice president
select another DTF to examine some specific problems relating to S&A fees which
the DTF was charged to examine, but
which were not covered in the report.
Among the items, it was recommended
that the new DTF review the S&A Board
memo mentioned previously in this
article. Ironically, the S&A Board proposals have already been included as , a
part of the Minorities DTF report (see
story page~).
The members of the committee were
faculty member Dave Hitchens; staff
members Don Meyer, Kristi Robinson,
Mark Peterson, and Laura Thomas; and
students Thomas Ybarra and Chris
Meserve.

I still believe in the ideals on which Evergreen was established, but not on the
reality which it has become. And I cannot
compromise my values to the point to
which I have been requested.
I ask that this letter serve as my resignation effective July 1, 1974. I will stay
around after that if necessary for hiring or
training of a replacement. I write this letter to you because, in my mind, you pay
my salary. It's too bad you can't also
supervise my actions as your employee.
I don't intend to iet what I've started
die. After leaving Evergreen I will be getting in touch with legislators with whom I
have contact to let them know what's
happening in regards to S&A fees. And I
hope to spend some time this summer
preparing a workshop orientation for student organizations in the fall.
I will, of course, be available at any
time to help the S&A Board or students
organizations at Evergreen in any capacity [except as an employee].

All the President's Men
Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward,
Siltlon and Schuster, 1974.
Ten d, ys ago America saw the second
anniversary of a bungled burglary at the
Watergate housing complex in Washington, D.C. It was there, on the morning of
June 17, 1972, that five men were arrested
in the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee on charges of burglary.
The anniversary was not one for celebration and it passed quietly in regard to the
event it marked, but the series of events

ally, but it is no mere chronology. The
reader is allowed to follow the reporters
through each interview, each lead, each
triumph and frustration as they try to
bring the story out. It was no easy job.
Relying on leaks and sources within the
government and the Committee to Reelect the President, doing most of their
work by phone, Bernstein and Woodward
were able to construct a broad, sometimes
vague, incomplete picture of the Watergate story, with all its personalities and
complicated events. It is this picture, as
they uncovered it, that they bring the
reader in this book, but it is not all they

touched off by that break
in two years ago are still
with us and demand a
good deal of the country's
time and attention.
Watergate is a story
without an end. It is like a
long book, half finished,
but to the reader the
story's beginning is already
hazy, fading from memory
into history. The attention
span of the American
public is notoriously short,
and while present events
and revelations related to
the Watergate story have
much of the emotional and
mental concentration of
the public, the people and
events which preceded the ·
present are rapidly taking
their place in the background of the American
scene.
This is why All the President's Men is
so important. It is the first major work on
Watergate that is not a collection of pictures, chronologies and public documents,
but is a first volume history of the Watergate affair, bringing back to the surface
the beginning of the story, from the break
in to the advent of the hearings by the
Senate Select Committee on Presidential
Campaign Activities (the Ervin committee). The story is related by two Washington Post reporters, Ben Woodward and
Cf!rl Bernstein, who were primarily
responsible for bringing the far-reaching
implications of Watergate, step by step,
story by story, to the American public. It
w~s these two reporters who moved beyrnd the burglary and through their invtstigations brought to light the story as
it has taken shape today.
The story is constructed chronologicU

bring. They present an honest, yet frightening view of the government under the
Nixon administration by relating the
mood and tone, the double-talk, the devious procedures, the pressures which pervaded the entire affair. They present a
clear picture of the many personalities
within the administration, which is perhaps the most telling thing of all. They
tell of Ken Clawson, the one-time Post reporter in the administration, who denies
his involvement in dirty tricks against
Muskie during the 1972 campaign after
boasting of his involvement a short time
earlier. Angered by his obvious implication, Clawson becomes a sworn enemy of
the Post, developing a hatred which he
maintains today. We begin to see the role
of Haldeman, the most pervasive and insidious power in the American government; a ruthless man who literally struck

fear into hearts at the mere mention of his
name. We meet the University of California boys: Donald Segretti, Ron Zeigler,
Dwight Chapin, Bart Porter, and Gordon
Strachan, who brought "ratfucking," the
practice of campaign sabotage, to the
administration and the presidential campaign. We meet E. Howard Hunt, not the
highly professional spy, but a man who
behaves more like one of the Bowery
Boys than James Bond. And then Nixon
himself, the man who surrounded himself
with the cast of characters, the man in the
background throughout the early months
of the investigation, the man whose influence, whose touch,
marked everything from
the break in to the coverup, from ratfucking to ITT
with the clouded seal of
the Presidency. The man
who pops up at every turn
and who seems to stand at
the end of the story, the
man who seems to be at
the end of the Watergate
road.
All the President's Men
is completely fascinating,
and at once exciting and
terrifying. It is exciting like
a good mystery story,
which it is, and though it
cannot come to any real
conclusion it is a story that
works for the reader. As to
its frightening aspects, they
lie in the view of power
and morality in the present
administration. One is made aware that
the visions of George Orwell's 1984 were,
and are, alive in both reality and spirit today, and the reality is much closer to the
vision than one might suspect.
